Certificate Error: Navigation blocked

Windows Security

I tried to visit www.support.msn.com and I had the following problem I would
like to solve;
Certificate Error: Navigation blocked
There is a problem with this website's security certificate.

The security certificate presented by this website was issued for a
different website's address.

Security certificate problems may indicate an attempt to fool you or
intercept any data you send to the server.
We recommend that you close this webpage and do not continue to this website.
Please could you tell me why I have an option whether to stay or exit this
site as it is not recommended to continue using to the site.

Meanwhile, run Windows Update manually: If an Optional "Root Certificates"
update is offered, opt to install it then see if the behavior persists.

YW. I saw your other thread in IE General where you also mentioned this
problem. So that we all can see it, I'm crossposting this reply to that
newsgroup. Please don't begin a new thread about the problem. Thanks.

Hello I opened that post before this post and realised I could try the
security community, thats why it is still open.
I have a recurring problem on this link https://folders.bcot.ac.uk/ I had a
warning to advise me to not continue browsing the site.
Could you advise me what I should do for this link please.

Well, as it turns out, there *is* a problem with that website's security
certificate! Whether you want to proceed and open the page (which requires
a password) is up to you, Andrew. Be sure to read the "More Information"
section of that error page before you proceed.

Hello I contacted BCOT college regarding the site certificate on their
website and after some time I had information that the certificate was a self
signing certificate. Therefore I chose not to use the link.
